NYC Reggae 

Global Roots

Conscious Grooves

No band captures the spirit of Brooklyn quite like The Brooklyners. This six-piece outfit blends Jamaican standards, French classics, and original conscious tunes into something that feels both deeply rooted and entirely their own. Built on the diversity of its members and the multicultural energy of their Brooklyn home base, The Brooklyners have spent seven years and hundreds of shows refining one of the most distinctive sounds on the East Coast.

  • A Sound That Travels: The Brooklyners bring a global perspective to every performance. Keyboards, saxophones, melodica, percussion, bass, and vocals combine into a rich, warm tropical sound that feels like a transportive escape.
  • Serious Musical Pedigree: The Brooklyners have collaborated with some of reggae’s most respected names. You can hear it in the care and craft they bring to every song.
  • A Party With Purpose: This is music that moves the body and engages the mind. Conscious lyrics, irresistible grooves, and a band that genuinely loves what they do make every Brooklyners show feel like a celebration with something to say.

The Brooklyners bring the warmth, the groove, and the good vibes, so come ready to move.
